Without any compromises, Zelenskyy declared Ukraine's readiness to join the EU

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is fulfilling all the recommendations of the European Commission and does not expect any compromises on the way to the European Union.

“Interfax-Ukraine” quotes his statement at a joint press conference with President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine has implemented the recommendations necessary to begin negotiations on EU membership.

"This concerns the rule of law, the protection of human rights and the freedoms of national communities, greater transparency in the work of state institutions, and strengthening anti-corruption infrastructure," the President enumerated.

At the same time, Zelenskyy called on the European Union and other Western partners to maintain strong and reliable support for Ukraine.

This concerns both defense and financial support. Russia must see that the world is not backing down, protecting freedom and international law," he emphasized.

In particular, the Ukrainian leader said that he expects the strengthening of sanctions and "preventing the circumvention of existing sanctions" through the use of European companies and the territory of Russia's neighboring states.
